The angel is able to know our imagination but not secret thoughts. The imagination can be &quot;picture&quot; or &quot;sound&quot;, such as a photo we saw before or a music or a phrase we listened before. These can be known by the angel.<br /><br />How is it the secret thoughts? Is it similar to our &quot;subconsciousness&quot; which even ourselves not aware of? Or is it similar to the subvocalization that we used in our internal prayer or internal thinking? If it is subvocalization, then how is it different from imagination since imagination may also be a &quot;sound&quot;. For example, I said a prayer in my heart, then recall some phrase from the bible.allencchhttp://allencch.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-38716479673960510092012-10-02T17:08:53.426-07:002012-10-02T17:08:53.426-07:00Dear Father,

Awaking the next morning, while I was saying the Angelus, a name made it&#39;s way loudly to the center of my consciousness and I have believed since that I was given my guardian angel&#39;s name.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-41027628001312644612012-10-02T16:48:51.054-07:002012-10-02T16:48:51.054-07:00I assume that the reason we are not supposed to tr...I assume that the reason we are not supposed to try to &quot;name&quot; our guardian angels is that we are not to try to engage in conversation with them, something we might feel more inclined to do if we gave them names. Ask them to pray for us and defend us from the Devil, sure; thank them, absolutely; but not to try to have a question-and-answer type sessions along the lines of what foolish people do with Ouija boards.

I&#39;m glad you&#39;re back to blogging,...Father, <br />I&#39;m glad you&#39;re back to blogging, I missed these NTM posts! <br />I have a few questions regarding the Angels:<br />1--Is it theological opinion or difinitive teaching that the Angels exist within time? And if so, what kind of time exactly would an Angel experience to begin with?<br />2--Do Saints and Angels have the same knowledge once in heaven? <br />3--Do Angels have knowledge of the entire world, or do they only have specific concerns. For instance, does my Guardian Angel know the details of something going on in Europe? <br />4-- If Angels have the beatific vision, the sight of God, can they be ignorant? <br />Thanks very much!<br />TomThomas1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-81337555371853274892012-10-02T14:42:01.686-07:002012-10-02T14:42:01.686-07:00thanks Father! thanks Father!

It does not seem too much to suppose that their observations are at least as detailed as those used by a polygraph or even a functional MRI. It seems unlikely to me that they would be inherently unable to read any thought that is formed in the brain, just as another human can detect any thought that is spoken aloud. Deeper thoughts, which exist in the soul but not the brain, are a different matter.<br /><br />After all, demonic possession is a real phenomenon, and it presumably involves a direct connection to the brain. Maybe in the same way demons are not usually allowed to possess people, they are not usually able to read their brains?

While our guardian angels don&#39;t have direct access to our intellect, may we give them permission to have access to our intellect at certain times or for all time? The reason one might want to do this is so that our guardian angel is aware when we are using our intellect for something foolish.

Isn&#39;t it true that the angels already possess the Beatific Vision, and therefore, in some sense are already operating in eternity? But there is no time from the vantage point of eternity, but only pure presence. So wouldn&#39;t this mean that their vision of God would include the vision of the future seen in God? Or is something else operating with guardian angels that is not true for the other angels? Am I wrong in thinking that the guardian angels have the immediate vision of God?Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-22408802401851308582012-10-02T04:39:13.649-07:002012-10-02T04:39:13.649-07:00Does Christ know the whole future in his human min...Does Christ know the whole future in his human mind?<br /><br />FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
